Chapter 316: Difficulty in Cultivation, the Battle Between Yin and Yang!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Ling Yun was in big trouble this time!
Ling Yun had known that the immortal spiritual energy was hidden in his energy center. However, he hadn’t been able to use it since the immortal spiritual energy was not under his control. All his efforts would be for naught if it exploded from his energy center and devoured his Yin and Yang energy. He wouldn’t be able to cultivate the Yin-Yang harmony balance!
“F*ck, it just had to appear when I least need it. It’s obviously playing with me!” A distraught Ling Yun shouted in anger.
The reason for his depression was well-founded. He had reached a critical moment in his cultivation. He was advancing from Physique Tempering Stage Three to Four. It wasn’t simply just another breakthrough.
It was an advancement from the beginner stage to the intermediate stage. He wouldn’t need to be afraid of the immortal spiritual energy going berserk in his body once he broke through to Physique Tempering Stage Four.
He knew better than anyone else that while he wasn’t able to control the immortal spiritual energy, it would never hurt him. Ling Yun reaffirmed his faith and forced himself to calm down. He faced the unprecedented situation head on.
Ling Yun decided swiftly to ignore the doings of the immortal spiritual energy and followed the original procedure to cultivate the Yin-Yang harmony balance.
There were two types of immortal spiritual energy: a white force and a black force. They devoured so much Yin and Yang Qi in such a short time that there was almost no trace of them left in his energy center.
Nonetheless, the speed of consumption of both Yin and Yang Qi were balanced, giving Ling Yun a strange sense of relief.
With almost no Yin and Yang Qi left, an uncontrollable influx of the Dark Yin Qi from the spell formation traveled through Ling Yun’s body through the Twelve Principal Meridians. It destroyed the delicate balance of Yin and Yang Qi instantly.
Ling Yun could only laugh bitterly. He had managed to find the center of the Dark Yin Qi which granted him unlimited supply, but now, he became lacking in Yang Qi!
Ling Yun had originally thought that the immortal spiritual energy would stop devouring the Yin and Yang Qi once their balance had been broken. He could not have been more wrong. It had instead further accelerated the speed of consumption.
Ling Yun could not see into himself. If he could, he would have seen the black immortal spiritual energy devouring the Dark Yin Qi.
“F*ck it! Let’s do this!” Ling Yun gritted his teeth and took out a Spirit Forming Talisman from his spatial ring!
Ling Yun crushed them, releasing their spiritual energy. He used the Yin-Yang harmony balance to channel it into his energy center. The spiritual energy was swallowed up instantly by the white immortal spiritual energy.
“Let’s see how much spiritual energy the energy center of a Physique Tempering Stage Three can store!” declared Ling Yun. His temper rose. He crushed a bunch of Spirit Forming Talismans as soon as the Yang Qi in his body became scarce and channeled the spiritual energy to his energy center.
Ling Yun was well prepared. He had three thousand Spirit Forming Talismans when he entered the Crater.
His energy center and meridians had doubled in size when he had broken through the second major realm of the Stellar Condensation Technique. Three thousand of these Spirit Forming Talismans was enough for him to replenish his spiritual energy fifteen times. He had used up two hundred in his battle with the bats and had twenty-eight hundred left.
Ling Yun had underestimated the immortal spiritual energy. He had thought that the remaining twenty eight bundles of Spirit Forming Talismans would be enough. He was wrong. They were not enough.
What am I to do? What do I do? Ling Yun could feel the ferocious immortal spiritual energy still actively consuming the spiritual energy within him even after he used up the last bundle of Spirit Forming Talismans.
Ling Yun glanced around and saw a large cave where the eye was located. It went northwards, which was in the direction of the eye of the Yang Formation.
He could not head there even though it would have all the Yang Qi he needed.
He could head there once he mastered the Yin-Yang harmony balance. It would allow him to absorb either Yin or Yang Qi. The Yin-Yang harmony balance would automatically transform part of the spiritual energy to keep the balance of the Yin and Yang.
He had not reached that point. Since Ling Yun had a pure Yang body, he could hold up for a while more in the Yin Formation and think of a suitable strategy. The situation would be worse if he headed there.
His Yang Qi had reached dangerously low levels again in no time. This time, he took out the Psychic Jade Box with a faint smile on his face.
The Psychic Jade Box was filled with the immortal spiritual energy Ling Yun had stolen from the Emperor Brush. It was Ling Yun’s trump card.
He could only respond using the immortal spiritual energy inside at this point!
Ling Yun placed the Psychic Jade Box flat on his left palm and waited for the moment when the supply of Yang Qi in his energy center was exhausted. “Absorb from here!” Ling Yun bellowed.
Ling Yun gave it his all for the Yin-Yang harmony balance!
Sure enough, the immortal spiritual energy transformed into Yang Qi and overwhelmed the black immortal spiritual energy immediately.
The white immortal spiritual energy obtained an absolute advantage. Ling Yun could almost see an explosion of Dark Yin Qi forming a large whirlpool around him with his naked eye. The whirlpool centered around Ling Yun’s energy center and channeled spiritual energy straight into it. A direct confrontation between the Dark Yin Qi and the Pure Yang Qi from the immortal spiritual energy started.
Ling Yun took a high-risk gamble!
Death awaited Ling Yun if the spiritual energy could not successfully fuse together!
The caster of the Yin Yang Dragon Lock Spell was really formidable. He had discovered this perfect location with the Yin Vein under Nancui Peak and the Yang Vein under Dragon Mountain to cast the spell. Even a dragon could not escape!
Ling Yun’s theory was that the immortal spiritual energy would stop consuming spiritual energy at some point. He was betting on the immortal spiritual energy he had to be sufficient.
Of course, with great risk came great rewards. His energy center had already expanded to ten times its original size. If he succeeded, the rewards would be unimaginable!
If his energy center used to be the size of a sesame seed, it was now the size of a watermelon!
Ling Yun’s meridians had also expanded. His speed of cultivation would be much faster once he broke through to Physique Tempering Stage Four!
Only God knew how much immortal spiritual energy was stored in the Psychic Jade Box.
Ling Yun let nature run its course. He was happy that the Yang Qi seemed to keep the upper hand.
Ling Yun hadn’t thought that he would have to use up so much Yin and Yang Qi and so much time to cultivate the Yin-Yang harmony balance!
He focused on his cultivation. After some time, the stream of immortal spiritual energy in the Psychic Jade Box gradually became thinner.
It’s still not enough? Are you kidding me?! Ling Yun opened his eyes slowly. Two streaks of light shone from his eyes. He could see everything in the cave clearly.
Ling Yun’s ability had improved by leaps and bounds even though he had yet to master the Yin-Yang harmony balance!
Soon, the immortal spiritual energy from the Psychic Jade Box was depleted. The Yin Qi in his body regained the upper hand. Ling Yun shook his head and took out the Emperor Brush.
Ling Yun was the current owner of the Emperor Brush. He prayed that the Emperor Brush would not abandon him in his time of need.
The black immortal spiritual energy overpowered the white equivalent. Ling Yun could do nothing but wait for a miracle from the Emperor brush!
The last drop of Yang Qi left in his energy center was sucked dry by the white immortal spiritual energy. There was no reaction from the Emperor Brush.
I’m dead…
Ling Yun shook his head despondently, accepting his failure. It wasn’t too late to abort the cultivation of the Yin-Yang harmony balance.
At this desperate moment, Ling Yun suddenly felt the immortal spiritual energy in between his eyebrows moving!
Pale gold immortal spiritual energy began shooting directly into Ling Yun’s energy center!
At the same time, the Emperor Brush finally responded. A massive amount of spiritual energy channeled into his hand!”
This is… dragon spiritual energy!
This time, the Emperor Brush was returning the dragon spiritual energy it had absorbed from the peak of the Dragon Mountain!
Golden dragon spiritual energy!
